Iyabo Obasanjo Declares Ogun Governorship Ambition Under APC
Prof. Iyabo Obasanjo, daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has announced her intention to contest the 2027 Ogun State governorship election under the All Progressives Congress.
She made the declaration during an interview with Nigerian football legend Segun Odegbami on Eagle7 Sports 103.7FM in Abeokuta.
The former commissioner ruled out a return to the Senate, stating clearly that her focus is on the Ogun State governorship race
Her words, “So moving ahead, I’m not going to be Commissioner. Like I said, I’m not even going back to the same party because I think that’s old and I don’t see the use of it. And I’m not going to go back to the Senate.
“Like the American would say, there’s no need. And this is what I told my associates, when this all started. I said, the only thing I’ll come back to do is the governorship.
“And we have started that journey. We are going to see it through. And so that’s the journey I’m on. And we are very serious about it. I mean we are very dedicated to it,” she said.
“Like I told you, a group of people who I did not bring together, have been working, I think, for two years now. And then they started talking to me about a year ago, saying, ‘Look, we think you are the best candidate. We want you back,’” she added.
